A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered terminals and smooth curves, producing an even, bookish rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are stately and well spaced, while lowercase forms keep open counters and rounded joins for readability. The italic angle is consistent, and the numerals follow the same serifed, old-style-influenced drawing for a cohesive texture across letters and figures.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running text with a traditional feel. It also fits refined print applications such as literary covers, academic materials, and formal stationery where a classic serif italic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is cultured and quietly expressive, balancing formality with a handwritten grace. It suggests editorial polish and traditional craft rather than display flamboyance, lending text a measured, thoughtful voice.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, traditional serif italic with enough calligraphic nuance to feel human and expressive while remaining disciplined in spacing and rhythm for continuous text.
Letterforms lean toward a classic italic model with curved entry strokes and modestly long ascenders/descenders that add elegance without becoming overly ornate. The capitals retain a calm presence, while the lowercase adds liveliness through subtle swash-like movement in strokes and terminals.
